Thrifty Thursday: How I bought $369 worth of jewelry for $41

I’ve never actually cared very much about jewelry, but more and more in the last year I find myself bookmarking pieces in catalogs I get. Black diamonds, smoky quartz, green amethyst, citrine, and marcasite….ah, marcasite. I do believe that’s where it all started. I don’t remember what catalog it was in, and I honestly...

Advising a girlfriend about boyfriend problems

Today my good friend needed me to be a good friend. She’d had a pretty major, potentially relationship ending, blowup with her boyfriend.

What would your Pina Colada personal ad say?

The other day as I was driving, Escape (The Pina Colada Song) came on. That song has always made me uncomfortable, yet it’s also charmed me. At its essence, it’s a couple in a rut. Clearly. He may have been perusing the personal ads, but his “lovely lady” actually placed one. Yet, he saw...
